About this episode
In February 1889, wealthy businessman John Fletcher is found unconscious in a Manchester cab and taken to hospital where he is declared dead on arrival. Known to be a heavy drinker, his death is at first put down to alcohol poisoning. But Detective Chief Inspector Jerome Caminada suspects foul play. Who was the young man seen running away from the cab? And what happened to the dead man’s possessions? Using his remarkable powers of deduction, this real-life master detective won’t rest until he finds the answers.
